Artemis Fowl: The Eternity Code
Publisher: Penguin
In his third adventure, Artemis Fowl may have mellowed a little, but the 13-year-old boy genius is still determined to extract a huge sum of money from a very powerful and dangerous businessman, Jon Spiro, by exploiting stolen fairy technology.
His plan seems foolproof but when it all goes horribly wrong and the existence of the fairy world is put at risk, a familiar cast of characters from the Lower Elements rallies round to help save the day.
This fast-paced, action-packed, fantasy thriller is sure to capture imaginations with its ever more astounding high-tech weaponry and gadgetry from the fairy underworld. The quality of Colfer’s writing and his irrepressible humour will charm both new readers and existing devotees.
